• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Education is a constitutional right for every person who is born, has passed examinations and has been admitted to school. I urge the Members that we pass this list. The issues that we have should not be addressed in this forum. Let us pass the names and any person who has an issue, they are free to raise the issue elsewhere. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker.That is what I want to talk about. The rules are very clear and the Leader of Majority Party has given the names. Personally, I am not happy with ODM and when I decide to move, I will move and no one should complain. If the party decides to discipline me, it is right to do so as a party. We must respect parties and their structures. If you do not want, be a man or a woman and quit. That is all I ask everybody here. You cannot say you want to remain in ODM and ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. First, I want to thank hon. Members of the Public Investments Committee for making a lot of efforts in trying to bring records to date. We have experienced challenges of investigating historical information. We are now looking at the books of, 2004/2005, 2005/2006, 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. On mistakes which were made at that time, as much as we are discussing them now, they are matters which are historical; they happened some time back. Some of the officers concerned have retired and ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Company, you will get the same story. Equipment which was bought by the officers who were at Chemelil Sugar Company--- It is good that I have referred to one section here. The problem that we are having here is that they got loans from Kenya Sugar Board (KSB). KSB gives loans to factories, and it is the same organisation which is used to authorize sugar to come into the country illegally. The effect is that farmers cannot be paid; the factory incurs debts; they are not able to service the loans. Finally, the money they collect from factories is used ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: country. The Report talks about the Kenya Railways, which is well covered in over 60 pages. All the Report is telling us is how the Kenya Railways land has been sold off. Those are the details in this Report. I do not know where some of the people who did this are, but some of them are there even as Accounting Officers. The Report states that the Kenya Railways has been vandalised. People have enriched themselves from the KRC. They have taken the parastatal’s land and sold it to other people. The Committee heard that the Kenya Railways took various ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: What has been brought to us for reading? We do not have anything available and all that the Committee has discussed should be available for us to go through so that we are informed. As much as he has tabled the Report, it should be circulated to us so that we can read it and understand what they are recommending. view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I will say I am supporting this Bill, but it has major weaknesses. The first one which I want to point out is the appointment of board members. It clearly states here that the Cabinet Secretary concerned will appoint six people who are not public officers. It does not say their qualification. It does not say their background and this is an institution we are forming and it requires experts. It requires people from various professional backgrounds. It is good that this ... view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: buildings which have been done where water passes. Basically, the water cannot pass because of the poor drainage and all these things. That is because we have not strengthened these bodies, and they cannot be strengthened unless there is good funding. It looks like a joke. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker I want to quote some sections that I have seen here. They are saying all the decisions are going to be made by the Cabinet Secretary. They have abolished the Standards and Enforcement Review Committee. It has nothing to do because its powers have been transferred to the Cabinet Secretary. ... view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: You know the Cabinet Secretary in Mining and the Cabinet Secretary in Agriculture will be fighting when we pass this Bill, because one will make a decision that will pollute the environment and the other one will make a decision that they would do mining. What will this add up to? We must look at the implementation and practicability of the Bill in terms of effectiveness. So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the entire Bill has problems. I do not know what needs to be done, or whether it is too late. I think this Bill should be withdrawn. If you ... view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: people, who are not qualified, to sit there, so that they can give you certificates. That is what they do. They do nothing else. They come, look at your place and then give you a certificate to say that you can construct your building. They have no manpower and knowledge to do this job. I support this, but I am happy it is going to the Senate. It will come back here and we shall have a lot of amendments to this Bill before it can serve this country. With those few remarks, I support. view
